IS THE VANISHING GULF OIL A MIRACLE?

MAYBE.

EVERYONE SAID IT WAS THE BIGGEST OIL SPILL EVER, BUT THE OIL IS - MIRACULOUSLY - ALREADY GONE.

EVEN THE DEEP OIL IS GONE.


IT WASN'T OBAMA.

IT WASN'T THE COAST GUARD OR BP.

MAYBE IT WAS THE SPECIAL PRAYERS ARCHBISHOP AYMOND ORDERED UP. THE LAST ONE WAS JULY 27 - JUST ABOUT THE TIME THE LEAK WAS PLUGGED AND THE OIL DISAPPEARED.

(OTHER GOD-FEARING GROUPS ALSO PRAYED.)

THE LEFT-WING MADE FUN OF OUR PRAYERS:

I guess that it if the BP oil spill in the Gulf is due to God's anger over President Obama's treatment of Israel, then it only stands to reason that the best way to end the crisis is prayer.

And that is exactly the solution that four Southern Republican governors appear to be banking on:

Four Gulf Coast governors are calling on residents to set aside Sunday as a Day of Prayer to pray for a solution to the oil spill and for citizens impacted by the disaster.

Alabama's Bob Riley, Louisiana's Bobby Jindal, Mississippi's Haley Barbour and Texas' Rick Perry all issued proclamations calling on prayer for the spill, which entered its 66th day Thursday.

"Throughout our history, Alabamians have humbly turned to God to ask for His blessings and to hold us steady during times of struggle. This is certainly one of those times," Riley said in a statement.

Riley's proclamation reads in part, "Citizens of Alabama are urged to pray for the well-being of our fellow citizens and our State, to pray for all those in other states who are hurt by this disaster, to pray for those who are working to respond to this crisis, and to pray that a solution that stops the oil leak is completed soon."

Perry's proclamation says it "seems right and fitting that the people of Texas should join with their fellow Gulf Coast residents" and others across the country and around the world "to thank God, seek his wisdom for ourselves and our leaders, and ask him for his merciful intervention and healing in this time of crisis."

Barbour's notes that the spill threatens the "livelihoods of our fellow citizens, the environmental beauty of our coast, and our quality of life." Jindals's says "Louisianians all across the world are united in hope for an end to this catastrophic event and pray for" the coast's recovery.

Jindal, in fact, participated in a prayer vigil earlier this week where, according to the Louisiana Famly Forum (Tony Perkins old haunt,) "intercessors" laid hands upon him:

Pastors Dino Rizzo, Apostle Lloyd Benson, Bishop Ricky Sinclair, Bishop Raymond Johnson, and Pastor Dennis Blackwell led in prayers for the bereaved families, for our government officials, for the environment, for the people and businesses of the Gulf Coast, and for solutions to this economic and environmental crisis.

And they were not alone, as Southern Baptist Convention is calling on churches and Christians "to pray for the end of this catastrophe and for the homes, lives, cultures, and livelihoods of those in the Gulf Coast region" while John Stemberger of the Florida Family Policy Council "is working on a coordinated effort, and is asking believers and churches across America to unite in prayer for the Gulf this Sunday" and even Wallbuilders is "urging everyone across the nation to join with these states, asking for God's hand to be on all the decision-makers and lawmakers, that He would give them discernment and guidance, and that a solution would be forthcoming."

Interestingly, Wallbuilders' David Barton "drafted the prayer day proclamations for the governors to adapt."

MAYBE THE LEFT WING SHOULD START PRAYING - BUT FIRST THEY HAVE TO SEE THE LIGHT AND BELIEVE IN GOD!

I PRAY THEY DO!

ASIDE: HEY: MAYBE BOBBY JINDAL IS THE ONE?

The oil is still there, you just don´t see it because of the chemicals that BP use.

Of course prayer has nothing to do with this. If you believe so much in prayer, why do you even bather to write this blog. Just pray and everything will be the best...

Lou Dolinar notes that much of what we were told about the oil spill wasn’t true:

Careful studies have revealed that the media-beloved “giant underwater oil plumes” have disappeared or maybe never existed in the first place. You can also forget about methane tsunamis, an “extinction-level event,” killer oil-laced hurricanes, and vast governmental conspiracies.

Meanwhile, parts of the Gulf have reopened for fishing and shrimping, and the EPA is expediting testing of the rest of it. The administration has even indicated that it’s considering an early end to its drilling moratorium.
